[Dude on a Pale Horse]

But I'm sick of b*tching about MR and his stupid Awfense. Just beat Duke and put a stop to the embarrassment. I feel like my kid did something stupid at school, after having just done something stupid at school. I'm about to send this team away for the summer. Thats another thing to think about, the offseason is forever long and is approaching soon. This team needs to string together some wins, and win a sh*tty bowl game real bad. Beyond frustrating... beyond...

While watching my sons football practice last night, they were walking thru plays on offense at half speed to make sure everyone knew where to go and who to block. They ran the same play at least a half dozen times to make sure they executed it perfectly. They proceed to go full speed against the defense. But now the defense knew what the play was, having watched it for 10 minutes and when they ran it live in scrimmage, the defense blew it up every dam time.

It reminded me of Miami and the shotgun draw / molasses hand off.

The play can be a well designed play, executed to perfection, but if the defense knows it is coming, its not going to work. Richt keeps saying he believes in the plays he is calling. The problem is the defense believes in the plays too and knows what he is calling.

Game Ova

Season Ova

[orange n' green in the vein]

Duke has averaged 40,935 fans in attendance over their three road games I can find figures on easily other than their last one. That one had about half that figure at best from what I saw and heard on the broadcast as I watched it Saturday.

UM will put at a minimum around ten thousand more through the stands I bet in mid 70's degree weather unless it's raining and even then the fans are covered from that anyway. Try again . . .

BINGO!

I have been a part of these type of boneheaded practice schemes.

They completely destroy an offense psychologically.

The relationship between the football program and the administration has always had friction. The administration is like the big guy on the block who is always testing your right to control your own house. If the big guy tells you that you must change the color of your house and you are a person who complies then you will change it. I think Butch was the guy who told the big guy..its my house and Im gonna keep the color that I pick...thats why the recruits like to play for him.

[WWIN]

He needs to change his on the field attitude

[mi@mic@ne]

Facts are facts..Butch wanted more money because he deserved it...look at the 2002 team he recruited... the administration was shafting him so he had the opportunity to up his salary and become a pro coach...nothing wrong with that...he demanded respect ...im on his side

Sully spot on about Maryland Athletics.
The coach has a hand in killing a player(in my opinion) and they re instate him, wtf are they thinking??

The players boycott the school, the seniors miss out on games they deserve to play,they go along with the school they practice under a sociopath

If you won't boo, would you at least give a little snicker and shake your head as the punt shanks into the players bench, it would mean a lot to me.

Listening to the Basketball Game on WVUM 90.5

[roachcane77]

The play can be a well designed play, executed to perfection, but if the defense knows it is coming, its not going to work. Richt keeps saying he believes in the plays he is calling. The problem is the defense believes in the plays too and knows what he is calling.

Imo everyone is overlooking Blake James is the one who created Silly Richt at the U.

Blake James needs to be fired for allowing Richt to screw this up.

watching it on watchespn

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

I want to blame Blake James too, but Blake James is not a real AD, he's a puppet b*tch boy to the BoT. He has no power whatsoever, his responsibility is to wave pom-poms and wait on direction from the BoT.

[PapaCane]

I thought the BoT was committed to winning.

[CGNC]

Solar, I qill see what I can do - LOL, we usually talk amongst ourselves about how bad it is and then watch the fans around us which are usually more entertaining.

86 - Booing is not in me. However comma if there is no improvement I may not go to the last home game

[PapaCane]

If The U finish the season 7-6 with a bowl loss. The BoT should fire Richt and James. Get some new puppets and try to win again.

There are only twooptions:

1. U are gonna boo at the game before half time.

2. U are gonna be driving home and wished you had.

Which will it be?

[MLAlumni1970]

I must have lost it. Who is BoT? I am still stuck in the Shalala mindset, when we found out that she was secretly trying to eliminate football from the school. A pure academic, selfish bitch. Now I am suspicious of all of the higher-ups. They all have secret agendas.
I love my Canes, but can't bear to watch them go down the tube. Embarassing to all who believed.
Love all of you, and hope that our broken hearts mend.

Posted by: CGNC | October 30, 2018 at 02:45 PM

Yeah they was trying to screw him over on the buy-out of the contract... they wanted 80-20 and Butch was only pushing for 60-40... but people act like Butch just deserted us

Who are the top rated OL and ST coaches that we might be able to bring to Miami IF Richt fires the OL coach and moves the ST coach to a non-coaching position as recruiting coordinator?

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

Posted by: CGNC | October 30, 2018 at 08:40 PM

I think they were very happy with themselves... but they dont know much about football and why the HC shouldnt be the OC also, so now the have to react. They need a football person (like Pete Garcia) to explain sh*t to them when they have their meetings on football.

The funniest thing to me was when we ran a trick play because they ran a couple. Really exposes our staff as punk b*tches. Its like a really lame comeback, "oh yeah, your mom."

Have we scored yet?

[TonyCane]

Shalala was never trying to get rid of football. If she was, she had two opportunities to do so where she would have been lauded by the media for “cancelling the season”. One was in the aftermath of FIU/Miami, the other was when Shapiro broke. She went against popular opinion at the time and should be respected for that. However, she also gave Randy Shannon no budget for staff at the very point when a college football arms race started. She never wanted to kill Miami football...she just wanted it to have a low cost.

As for Butch, one thing I remember is that He was rumored to go to the NFL almost every year but after 1997. He got - and correct me if I am wrong - three new deals during his time with Miami, including one after his first year. Maybe the BOT got tired of the semi-annual raises and extensions.

[TonyCane]

I wonder what a certain 5 star running back thinks of the Maryland situation?

[AeroCane]

A few will hate me for this but, in my opinion, I hope no one shows up Saturday! The bot are totally pissed and embarrassed and fire Blake and richt! Put Diaz in as interim and then get a offensive minded HC who will not call their own plays, who will not hire inexperienced and related assistants, etc
Recruiting sucks and sometimes you Must take a step back to move two steps forward. The defensive recruits won’t leave if Diaz is retained as assistant HC and DC and I’m not sure with the way the rest of this season is going to suck that we won’t get more decommittments from offensive guys - so let’s just do what Sorming Norman used to say: Take Charge and Do the right thing! Fire the Georgia reject now! (Even his press conferences are lies and depressing)

[AeroCane]

Dude
Re trick play
So glad you said that - I was thinking it but didn’t want to say anything. The worst part was that both of theirs worked and ours didn’t. They looked smooth running it against our D and we looked goofy
Richt sucks

[Go Canes!!]

Just heard Bama is a TWO TOUCHDOWN favorite on he road against LSU this Saturday.

That’s just unbelievable.

[AeroCane]

Go
They are in an entire different league!
Just crazy

[AeroCane]

Wouldn’t be surprised if they beat them by 30 (assuming tua plays); saben wont slow it up just like Dabo
Yet we are losing by 3 at halftime and our loser coach says ‘we’re only down 3, we don’t need explosive plays’. No you effing idiot, its college football - recruiting and winning is all that matters and you’ve figured a way to think that keeping a game close, is a good thing

[mi@mic@ne]

back in the day the stadium would be rockin to the tune of we will rock you....that was when we saw the beat down coming in the 4th q. Then as we witnessed the other team quitting, the song hey hey hey good by would ring out in unison. now all we hear is boo hoo we suc ...

We better win Saturday. That is All. Get to bowl eligibility first and foremost and do not lose Homecoming. That will be a train wreck. See U Maniacs at the Rock Saturday Lord Willing.

Soup and KYCane My recommendation is we do the Canespace Four Play on the weekend of February 15-17 and catch the 3 Game Baseball Set and Home Opener of Baseball and that way we just have to hope for 1 more Game during that weekend. I have already made my transportation down for that weekend already.

Let's keep it rolling until we reach 1,000 lol.

[CGNC]

Because I want to support the players that came to play and do work hard.

[solarcane]

Lets say Rosier graduates, Perry transfers,Kelly Bryant transfers in.

Could Bryant's Clemson pedigree influence Richt to implement something that looks like a 2000s offense?

Or will Bryant transfer to a terrible UNC team and beat us?

Or will Williams actually be That Qb we thought the last half dozen would be?

Or will we be right here this time next year, whining about how sad we are, still in denial that this is as good as it gets?

[solarcane]

Here’s the numerical order of how much each ACC school spent on football; the accompanying national rank is in parentheses.

The numbers include a variety of factors: coaching staff salaries, academic aid and recruiting finances. The AP states, though, two critical factors aren’t baked into this cake: money paid to coaches through multimedia partners, and cash put towards facilities.

Florida State (No.2): $42.46 million
Notre Dame* (No. 4): $38.97 million
Clemson (No. 10): $34.67 million
Virginia Tech (No. 16): $31.15 million
Miami (No. 25): $28.47 million
Duke (No. 36): $23.47 million
North Carolina (No. 37): $23.46 million
Louisville (No. 38): $23.43 million
Syracuse (No. 39): $23.22 million
Pittsburgh (No. 40): $23.13 million
Boston College (No. 48): $21.35 million
Virginia (No. 51): $20.33 million
NC State (No. 54): $19.19 million
Georgia Tech (No. 61): $17.38 million
Wake Forest (No. 63): $16.61 million

Making excuses for Richt.

Not having an o-line or a qb is no excuse for struggling on offense.

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

Posted by: solarcane | October 31, 2018 at 02:40 PM

I dont believe 10 wins is as good as it gets at Miami. We seriously need someone like Pete Garcia/Butch Davis in charge of the program, not a figure head AD. We need someone that carefully considers resumes and football acumen. We need to build a better staff on both sides of the ball, and croot the heck out of local HS. If MR had hire Helfrich when he was sitting in his office, we'd be at least 7-1 right now & ranked in the top 10, looking like a team that could challenge Clemson. MR refused a Golden opportunity, he shouldnt have had the choice.

[Go Canes!!]

Posted by: solarcane | October 31, 2018 at 02:40 PM

Imo Bryant got benched because Dabo knew with him under center Clemson was never going to beat an elite defense. So he gambled on the All world true freshman and it’s paying off big time.

He definitely would have helped us beat UVA and BC. Don’t have much if any doubt we would have with him under center.

But in the ACC Championship game the result would be the same.

Richt should of retired after Georgia and BJ should have hired a young and up and comer.
Bryant wont come here unless mr guarantees a change and that won’t happen;
After the last 8 or so Games against quality opponents we suck! Richt is the head coach in year 3 - he needs to be held responsible.
It’s very bleak people unless we do something yesterday!
